Do I need to point out what a stretch it is to assume because people accept something in an admittedly flawed, fictional character in a television series based on the zombie apocalypse it somehow relates to divorce rates in the real world? I personally think making gross generalizations like this tends to tarnish ones argument rather than help make it.

Statistically, people divorce for many reasons, infidelity not being the least of which.

While we are most definitely drawing comparisons between the show and real life, that comment goes too far by a mile in my opinion.

Just to clarify, when Rick went back to the room where Lori died, and shot that ghoul in the head and stabbed him in the stomach...he did that because he discovered that the ghoul had eaten Lori, right?

Yup. That is the insinuation though on a show where "anything can happen" I tend to distrust anything that occurs off-camera. For example, Carol is dead. Is she really? There's a grave dug for her but is she in it? Who knows?

Also, I totally thought Rick was going to carve the walker open and try to find Lori's wedding ring.

They didn't show the entire floor space, so I can only assume that it was just a mutilated mess of bones and leftover flesh, off-camera.

I tend to agree with this.

Could Lori be alive? Sure she lost a lot of blood, but maybe it was from someone else? Why have the scene where Carol learns how to do a c-section if she's not going to use it? Maybe she found and stitched Lori up?

Do I really think these things are possible or likely? No, but I think the shows creators are purposely leaving things open for people to interpret.

I hadn't thought about that bit with Carol. Although I agree that it is extremely unlikely. I read an interview with Kirkman today and he.confirmed that they had a farewell party for the actors (Lori & T-dog) so it seems pretty cut and dry that Lori is dead to me and aint coming back. Carol on the other hand....

As an aside, I am curious to see what happens to Michonne. The Governor was pretty brutal to her in the comic and I cant believe he would just let her walk away.

While the Carol/Lori theory is interesting (and a total curveball I wouldn't have seen coming), I think it's safe to assume that Lori is gone for good. I don't think they would have introduced the phone if she were still alive.
